Yours to treasure in your own way.
To remember and honor a courageous young man who fought but lost his battle with cancer.
To raise awareness, because there are too many children suffering from this terrible disease.

July 9, 2018
Because of leg reconstruction surgery, Robby wasn't able to play soccer his senior year. At Avon's last home game, however, the teams arranged for Robby to take the opening kick, then get subbed out.
REMEMBERING ROBBY
Deb Miller
RBO Founder
They say people come into our lives for a reason. Their purpose may be to teach us, guide us or even to test us. Like a big brother showing his younger sibling how to navigate through a challenging situation, Robby guided Hunter through the fight for his life.
Liz Brisco
Mom
Robby wanted us to continue his fight, not just for his fellow Avon cancer warriors - Chris, Hannah, Hunter, Kamran, Lauren, and Morgan - but also for a special friend Kyla and all the other children.

Vie for the Kids, Inc.
The Robby Brisco Open is a Vie for the Kids signature fundraising event, and we are honored to help remember a remarkable young man who inspired other patients, fellow students, and the entire town of Avon and beyond.
